'Inspector to temporarily modify UI elements of Windows Desktop Applications

Is there a way to inspect and temporarily modify controls and elements of a Windows application like how a browser has dev tools which allows for doing that to web pages?

I've used AutoHotkey's Window Spy with ControlSetText to do this to a limited degree, but am looking for something more sophisticated.

The context is just wanting to modify the visuals (text and/or graphics), not any underlying functionality like what clicking the button does.

Windows Detective allows for this (https://windowdetective.sourceforge.io/)

You can drag and drop "Pick window" onto a control and then do "Edit Properties"
